Today, put into practice living sober and and not as an alcoholic struggling not to drink. There is more to life than living with a daily struggle not to drink. But before I can apply my program and recovery to every realm of my life, I have to make sure I'm walking the walk and not just talking the talk. I have to be honest that I have begun at the very beginning, with the program's first four words - "Admitted (I am) powerless ..." - and that I have "come to believe" in something greater than myself, that I have done the steps thoroughly and honestly, and that I am truly an effective carrier of the message. Memorizing every word in the Big Book, burning in my mind every word of the 12 steps and traditions and of every 24-hour inspirational achieve nothing if I don't put action to them. Today, if I am only in the program, I'll get with it. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2018
